    You checked out overclockers? They are ususally the first...

    I think the issue is, do you want a phenom II now?

    I think if you want to have a board capable of AM3, then go for one of these If not, keep your old board.

    Would you say there are alot of advantages going for an AM3 board now?

    From a strictly financial point of view, having an AM3 board now would mean you only have to change the processor later. From a bleeding edge point of view, you may want to see what transpires with the new boards first before committing. It wouldn't be the first time that a new board comes out that turns out to be missing something obvious!

    The AM3 boards from gigabyte look pretty solid and seem to have wverything what I need and like you said they are more future proof.

    I think I'll just get a AM3 board and now that I'm getting the 9950 I weon't be upgrading the processor for a while anyway.

    As always, it depends!

    Are you thinking about the 4870 or the 4870x2? here is a list of certified crossfire cards

    Brands don't matter, but GPU types do to a certain extent.... it can cope with some inequalities, but not all... did you read the faq through?

    The benchmark on that should be fairly high
